The story of Lydmar

Lydmar Hotel began in 1993, when Pelle Lydmar turned the Eden Terrace Hotel at Sturegatan 10 into a hotel full of art. It has been called Stockholm's first design hotel and became known for free soul and R&B gigs in the lobby. The landlord wanted the building for offices, and despite protests the hotel closed in 2006.

On 6 October 2008 Lydmar reopened in the Edelstam House at Södra Blasieholmshamnen 2, next door to the Nationalmuseum. The building is named after Carl F. Edelstam, who had it built, and took its present form in an 1881 to 1882 rebuild drawn by the architect Axel Kumlien. From 1920 to 1945 it housed the German Legation.

The conversion into a 46-room hotel won both the ROT Prize and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce's urban environment award in 2009. Grand Hôtel bought the hotel in 2013, but it still trades under the Lydmar name.

Sol vid lunch, according to Stoligt

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
